Platforms that support IPIs allow them to be broadcast via the
new arch_sched_broadcast_ipi() routine (replacing arch_sched_ipi()).
Those that also allow IPIs to be directed to specific CPUs may
use arch_sched_directed_ipi() to do so.
As the kernel has the capability to track which CPUs may need an IPI
(see CONFIG_IPI_OPTIMIZE), this commit updates the signalling of
tracked IPIs to use the directed version if supported; otherwise
they continue to use the broadcast version.
Platforms that allow directed IPIs may see a significant reduction
in the number of IPI related ISRs when CONFIG_IPI_OPTIMIZE is
enabled and the number of CPUs increases. These platforms can be
identified by the Kconfig option CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_DIRECTED_IPIS.

Zephyr's code base uses MP_MAX_NUM_CPUS to
know how many cores exists in the target. It is
also expected that both symbols MP_MAX_NUM_CPUS
and MP_NUM_CPUS have the same value, so lets
just use MP_MAX_NUM_CPUS and simplify it.
